 +
Annoyed that you got no chance to get better gears because you are new to the server and can't race veterans on MvP kills even though you think you are the more skilled players?
 +
 +
Join us in a Novice only event, where neither level, stats or equipment matter! Create a brand new '''level 1 novice and meet at the spawn point''' (do not enter the Training Ground, join Hero's Journey, or be born) and compete in some novice games. Only your knife and cotton shirt will be allowed. GM will be at the novice spawn point to invite you to the event.
 +
 +
'''Time:''' October 23rd at 1:00 PM EDT
 +
 +
You will be given job level 10.
 +
 +
You will need at least 1 Allegiance Point to join for this event. Join a party belonging to your Allegiance.
 +
 +
 +
'''Event 1:''' Flower Maze
 +
 +
The Flower Mazes return, except this time it is collaborative within the allegiances! Survive and navigate through 5 different Flower Mazes of increasing length/difficulty. Participating novices need to reach from one end of the dangerous path to the other end. Series of immovable monsters block the way. Be precise in your movement, and see through all the traps to reach the other end. Excessive stalling will result in GMs spawning monsters to force novices to move on quickly or face death.
 +
 +
No monsters have any targeted skills in the maze, but some of them will have ground based, telegraphed abilities.
 +
 +
A few minutes of the trial will be given for everyone to learn what this event is about. Any progress made during trial runs do not count.
 +
 +
Navigate through the maze of flowers. When anyone on your allegiance reaches a check point, you will be revived + warped to the checkpoint to progress further.
 +
 +
The first allegiance to reach the end will win this round!
 +
 +
In case where neither allegiance reach the end, then the allegiance that is closest to the end will be the winner.
 +
 +
Underdog bonus
 +
If allegiance with a lower team member count wipes out, GM will revive a number of novices equal to the differences in the number of players between the 2 allegiances. These novices will restart at their allegiance's latest checkpoints. GMs will revive the novice who got the furthest, then the novice who died the earliest, and repeat until the GM has revived the intended number of novices.

 +
 +
 +
 +
'''Event 2: Mine Sweeper'''
 +
 +
Novices from the same allegiance should form a party for this event.
 +
 +
In a small enclosed space where pvp is NOT enabled, the two allegiances will have to try to kill each other through the use of Marine Spheres, which are randomly spawned throughout the map.
 +
 +
At the end of any wave of marine spheres, if the allegiance with a lower team member count loses any members, a number of their novices will be randomly selected to be resurrected to continue the game. This number is equal to the differences in the number of players between the 2 allegiances. This is an attempt to balance the teams.
 +
 +
The allegiance that have any novices surviving at the end, will be the winner of a round. We'll play this to best out of 3 rounds to see which allegiance wins this event.
 +
 +
In cases where everyone dies so neither allegiances have a surviving member at the end of a wave, everyone will be revived and the round restarts.

 +
 +
 +
There will be a 25 rounds. For each round, the host GM will announce the number of players, ranging from 1 (solo battle) to 4, that each allegiance will send out to participate. Each allegiance's team will take turns to enter the arena to fight the monsters awaiting for the team. The monsters that each allegiance fight will be identical. '''This time, the allegiances do not perform against each other. Each allegiance will fight all waves, and try to win against as many waves as possible in order to win rewards.'''
 +
 +
However, once a player participates for a round, s/he cannot participate again until everyone else in the allegiance has participated/contributed. Therefore, the Team Monster Arena will measure the average strength of all participants for an allegiance. While a higher number of participants will grant more class diversity, it will be the quality of all players that matter instead of sheer number.

*Once the first round begins, you cannot join the event.

*For each round, the GM will announce the number of players that each allegiance must send out for the round. The number of players will range from 1 to 4.
 +
 +
*'''The Dark Allegiance will always go first
 +
 +
*'''The Light Allegiance only has to choose their team for the round after hearing the results of the round for the other allegiance'''
 +
 +
*The allegiance team will enter a portal to the arena to fight the monsters within.
 +
 +
*The portal will dispel all buffs (including item buffs) upon entry
 +
 +
*A monster's placement is randomized within the arena. If monsters happen to be camping the spawn point, that is an ill fortune the allegiance teams will have to deal with.
 +
 +
*The arena is a circle with spectators in the middle. The center area can be used to try to lose line of sight with monsters.
 +
 +
*There are no water tiles for waterball
 +
 +
*There's no restrictions at all regarding what monsters will be in the arena. They can be normal monsters, boss monsters, event monsters or customized monsters.
 +
 +
*As the rounds go on, it is generally considered to increase in difficulty
 +
 +
*GM will NOT announce what monsters will be present for a round
 +
 +
*Monsters give full exp and items in the arena. There will be no exp loss for dying in the arena.
 +
 +
*Using a banned skill/item in the arena will automatically count as a loss for the team.

 +
 +
 +
'''Tips'''
 +
 +
*'''Green Potions: there is no excuse for you not to have this'''
 +
 +
*Class diversity is not necessarily good. The more duplicated members of a class you have, the more likely you can afford to have someone of that class for multiple rounds.
 +
 +
*At the same time, since the number of players allowed per round may vary, sometimes there are risks where you are stuck with no supports or no damage dealers if you have too many of the same class.
 +
 +
*You should be prepared to at least use healing consumables in battle
 +
 +
*Just because you have no access to trans skills, monsters will continue to use any skills under the sun
 +
 +
*'''Non-trans only pvm metagame can be very different. For example, while profs are insanely powerful for both damage and support, sage is a lot more limited.
 +
 +
*'''Now that trans are out of the picture, extended classes are relatively a lot more viable as options'''
 +
 +
*'''It is strongly encouraged that you work with your fellow allegiance members to talk about team composition before the event. Each Allegiance has an unofficial discord channel: I strongly suggest you to join them and discuss your plans there.'''

  • If a team is found to be "stalling", not actually engaging against the monsters, the GM will warn that the team must engage the monsters. If the team continues to stall, GM will nuke the team and it will count as a loss.
  • All players may access kafra, healer, repairer in-between rounds.
  • Once a player has participated in a round, s/he must sit out until every other member within the same allegiance has participated in an equal amount of rounds. Only by then, can the player participate again for a round.
  • You must be present for all rounds of the event to get rewards.
  • You cannot trade items to teammates to share gears between rounds
  • Banker and Potato Merchant has been added to the waiting room
  • Members of the same allegiance may spectate the round for your allegiance. During spectator mode, you will be muted and prevented from using any skills.
  • You can only get the rewards on the character that you joined with


Tips

  • Green Potions: there is no excuse for you not to have this
  • Class diversity is not necessarily good. The more duplicated members of a class you have, the more likely you can afford to have someone of that class for multiple rounds.
  • At the same time, since the number of players allowed per round may vary, sometimes there are risks where you are stuck with no supports or no damage dealers if you have too many of the same class.
  • You should be prepared to at least use healing consumables in battle
  • Just because you have no access to trans skills, monsters will continue to use any skills under the sun
  • Non-trans only pvm metagame can be very different. For example, while profs are insanely powerful for both damage and support, sage is a lot more limited.
  • Now that trans are out of the picture, extended classes are relatively a lot more viable as options
  • It is strongly encouraged that you work with your fellow allegiance members to talk about team composition before the event. Each Allegiance has an unofficial discord channel: I strongly suggest you to join them and discuss your plans there.
